@DarrenArsenal1 @johncrossmirror Not missed a Wembley final since 1980. Lost a stupid ballot and muggins here (who went to every League Cup game this season), misses out.
I’m not bitter though 🤬🤬 At least I’m in the 12P… Enjoy the game Darren… 🔴⚪️

Think Gyokeres' near post clearing header defending Everton's late corner last night is my favourite thing he's done so far in an Arsenal shirt. Absolutely threw himself at it 👊
Martinelli's little blocking run on the defender as well to make sure he couldn't put any pressure on Dowman 👌
The little things...

I come from A place and A time where I was brought up to understand the virtue of “never giving up” and I believe that directly correlates to why I have seen Arsenal win 5 league titles, wrestling victory from the jaws of defeat to win every single one of those titles against the popular belief we wouldn’t.
What happened to us as Arsenal fans?
When did that stop meaning something?
Because all I’ve seen on my tl these last few days would suggest we are not 4 points up having been the most consistent and best team in England this season…
It’s an absolute disgrace!
So long as I’m breathing, there is at least one person that still believes…WHO IS WITH ME? #COYG

Yep, there is something untouchable about the era of Highbury—the smell of the grass, the tight corridors, and the North Bank in full voice without a smartphone in sight.
You’re absolutely right; the "battle-hardened" generation laid the foundation. Traveling to cold away ends in the mid-80s or trekking across Europe for a Cup Winners' Cup night required a level of dedication that these social media wetwipes can't replicate. That history is the literal DNA of Arsenal, and it's why the club carries the weight it does today.
Whether it’s the memories of Anfield '89 or just the grind of the "Boring, Boring Arsenal" years that turned into gold, that loyalty is what makes the badge mean something.
Cheers for keeping that spirit alive.

I drive Uber on the night shift. At 2 AM, I picked up a guy from a hospital. He got in the back, looking shell-shocked. Didn't say a word. We drove in silence for ten minutes. Then I heard a sniffle. I glanced in the rearview. He was staring out the window, tears streaming down his face. "Rough night?" I asked quietly. "My wife," he choked out. "She just... the cancer. She's gone." My heart stopped. I turned off the meter. "I'm not taking you home yet," I said. He looked up, confused. "What?" "You can't go to an empty house right now. Not yet." I pulled into an all-night diner. "Come on. Coffee and pie. On me." He hesitated, then nodded. We sat in that booth for three hours. He told me about her laugh. How they met. How she hated peas. I just listened. When I finally dropped him off at 6 AM, the sun was coming up. He shook my hand. "Thank you," he said. "For not making me be alone in the dark." I didn't make a dime that night. But it was the most important drive of my life.

Suppose that once a week, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to £100.
If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:
The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay £1.
The sixth would pay £3.
The seventh would pay £7.
The eighth would pay £12.
The ninth would pay £18.
And the tenth man (the richest) would pay £59.
So, that’s what they decided to do.
The ten men drank in the bar every week and seemed quite happy with the arrangement until, one day, the owner caused them a little problem.
“Since you are all such good customers,” he said, “I’m going to reduce the cost of your weekly beer by £20.”
Drinks for the ten men would now cost just £80.
The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes.
So the first four men were unaffected.
They would still drink for free but what about the other six men?
The paying customers? How could they divide the £20 windfall so that everyone would get his fair share?
They realized that £20 divided by six is £3.33, but if they subtracted that from everybody’s share then not only would the first four men still be drinking for free but the fifth and sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer.
So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fairer to reduce each man’s bill by a higher percentage.
They decided to follow the principle of the tax system they had been using and he proceeded to work out the amounts he suggested that each should now pay.
And so, the fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (a 100% saving).
The sixth man now paid £2 instead of £3 (a 33% saving).
The seventh man now paid £5 instead of £7 (a 28% saving).
The eighth man now paid £9 instead of £12 (a 25% saving).
The ninth man now paid £14 instead of £18 (a 22% saving).
And the tenth man now paid £49 instead of £59 (a 16% saving).
Each of the last six was better off than before with the first four continuing to drink for free.
But, once outside the bar, the men began to compare their savings. “I only got £1 out of the £20 saving,” declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man, “but he got £10!“
“Yeah, that’s right,” exclaimed the fifth man. “I only saved a £1 too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more benefit than me!”
“That’s true!” shouted the seventh man. “Why should he get £10 back, when I only got £2? The wealthy get all the breaks!”
“Wait a minute,” yelled the first four men in unison, “we didn’t get anything at all. This new tax system exploits the poor!”
The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.
The next week the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had their beers without him.
But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important – they didn’t have enough money between all of them to pay for even half of the bill!
And that’s how it works.
Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy and they just might not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas, where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.
For those who understand, no explanation is needed.
For those who do not understand, no explanation is possible.
